Was looking for something with more ability than my portable batteries for charging phones and other USB devices. Used it to charge my laptop from dead to full. Had no issues charging while running while drawing roughly 80w. I also plugged in 2 iPads to charge via USB plus my phone on the wireless pad and it effortlessly charged them all at the same time with juice to spare at the end. Power for the size and weight is excellent in my opinion and does what I was hoping for with ease. Haven’t tried any larger draw items yet to see just what I can get away with powering but for what I’ll be using it for its perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this little portable unit. I never wanted to risk draining my RV battery to run my 12v DC electric blanket, but now I use the River mini and love having a warm bed to sleep in! I sure hope they get some of the accessory cables back in stock soon!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect size and power rating for my camper. Charges so fast! Has a good quality feel about it, love the handle on the backside. Now I just need a tidy little carrying case (hint Ecoflow].
I would recommend this to a friend!

portable fast-charging power supply. I haven't tried using the wireless phone charging to see how fast it can charge my phone (vs wired charging). It's light enough that I can carry it in one hand.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Instead of the 100 W panel, can you use the 160W panel which I have.

X-Boost claims of 600W is completely false. My unit will not deliver 600W at all. 500w for a minute or 2 then overload protection kicks in. It will maintain 420W long enough to slow brew a cup of coffee thru a 600W maker. (6-8 mins). Tests completed using 15A speed controller and a kill-a-watt meter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi TerryM!
We are sorry to hear that RIVER mini isn't functioning as you had hoped. But please allow us to explain the AC output of RIVER mini for you in detail.
RIVER mini's AC output is 300W total (Surge 600W). Surge means a fast yet short duration of electrical transients in current, voltage, or transferred energy that happens in an electrical circuit. Some electrical devices require a starting power that is higher than its rated power(such as an electric motor, refrigerator, air conditioner, or high-power water pump). Usually, when the inductive load starts, the power station's inverter will bear a large surge power. So the surge power in the specs is to measure the starting performance of an inverter.
As for X-Boost feature, it doesn't increase the AC output power to 600W. The AC output power will remain 300W, but X-Boost lowers the voltage to be able to run devices with the same 300W.
We apologize for any misunderstanding or confusion regarding RIVER mini's specifications and features.
We hope this clears things up :)
